![]() A view of Chantry House on the corner of Towcester's London
Road and Chantry Lane. The chantry was founded in 1447 by Archdeacon Sponne, the
vicar of Saint Lawrence. It fell to the Crown during the reign of King Edward VI.
The building was re-purchased by feoffees of Archdeacon Sponne and became part
of the Grammar School in 1552. The house was rebuilt in the mid-1860's. The
photograph shows the ridged garden wall and gate arch, both of which date back
to the 15th century.
